Remarketing- or "similar target groups" function of Google inc.

This website uses Google's Google Adwords remarketing or "like audiences" feature. this feature is designed to help users of our web site and other users with similar interests view their product recommendations and interest-based advertising based on their online user behavior when they visit other google display network sites or do a google search. when our advertisements are displayed on these websites, we receive information about visiting these websites, e.g. how many times our ad was viewed, how many clicks and visits were generated by a particular ad, and what content was accessed after clicking on an ad on our website.

The basis of this interest-based advertising is an analysis of online user behavior. google uses cookies to carry out this analysis. cookies are small text files that are generated by a web server and stored on your computer using the web browser you use while visiting a website on the google display network or a specific google service. these cookies contain information about your last visit or settings of your browser, such as the set language. the cookies are used to record website visits by uniquely identifying a web browser on a particular computer rather than identifying a person. all data is stored by using a pseudonym, so that a conclusion on the person of the user and thus a personal identification is not readily possible.
